University of Wisconsin – Madison
By Bekah McBride Researchers are one step closer to understanding the cellular mechanisms underlying stem cell aging in the brain thanks to a new tool developed at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The tool allows scientists to use autofluorescence, or the natural emission of light by a biological specimen, to study adult neural stem cells in …
By Bekah McBride Stem cell research holds tremendous promise for the future of medicine, but successful therapies will require strong, evidence-based research that is conducted with scientific integrity. To support researchers in this pursuit, the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) has developed standards that “identify quality standards and outline basic core principles for …
The Research Specialist will participate in field leading research on stem cell-derived islets and isolating human islets from cadaver donors. This position will maintain and differentiate human pluripotent stem cells into pancreatic cells and insulin producing cells using established protocols; control and oversee cell culture and cell manufacturing; and perform quality control assays on cell …
By Bekah McBride Technology developed at the University of Wisconsin–Madison to grow “rosettes” of brain and spinal tissue gives scientists new ways to study the growing human brain, including a recent study of how genetic mutations linked to autism affect early stages of human brain development. It’s the latest discovery using RosetteArray technology, a screening tool …

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and Academia Sinica, Taiwan, have identified a novel strategy that harnesses a combination of lab-grown cells to regenerate damaged heart muscle, marking a noteworthy advancement in cardiac regeneration research. The study published in Circulation addresses major challenges associated with using induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes for cardiac cell …
The Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Center labs welcomed a wave of new members this summer, as five talented undergraduate students participated in the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program. This unique experience pairs mentors with motivated University of Wisconsin–Madison undergraduate students as they pursue 10-weeks of collaborative research in stem cell and regenerative medicine. …
By Jordana Lenon Recent University of Wisconsin–Madison College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS) graduate Casey Ostheimer knows how to nurture herself and others. She managed classes in genetics, neuroscience, and kinesiology. She earned a double major in neurobiology and genetics, along with a certificate in Global Health. She even held a few part-time jobs, …
Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Director, Tim Kamp and a team of collaborators will receive one of sixteen Research Forward grants to study new avenues to treat heart failure using an engineered enzyme and human pluripotent stem cells. Research Forward, is a competition sponsored by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate …
